uneven height?

I've had koni FSD/eibach pro installed for a while now & I just noticed the passenger side of the car is sitting slightly lower than the driver's side. Anyone know what might be the cause of it? Anyone have the same issue?

They are all the same and designed that way. Nothing to be concerned about, its something to do with weight distribution......

The difference is even bigger at stock height.

I lowered my E93 on coilvers and adjusted the setting equally during the install and when I took the car off the lift and it was noticeable and bothered the hell out of me, so what I did was adjust the coilvers on the passenger side to match the drivers side...problem solved...But I will tell you that the uneven height annoyed the crap out of me

it accounts for the driver's weight which would normally level the car out since the driver is most often the only person in the car.

put a friend in the driver's seat and take another look at it.

My coils were set to even threads and my passenger side was about 1/2-3/4 of an inch lower...so then I lowered my drivers side to about 1/4 inch taller than passenger side to account for my fat ass....looks much better now, I am also super anal about ride height.

Luckily with ST and KW coils you can adjust the right heights with car on a jack and the wheels turned....so it's pretty easy.
